Ah, the Green Bay Packers. The gift that keeps on giving. Especially for WITI-TV (Channel 6) which carries the Fox football regular season, postseason and Super Bowl package of games.

Saturday's blowout at the Atlanta Falcons earned a 51.1 household rating, the highest Packers divisional game since 2004.

The Chicago Bears game against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday earned a 38.6, the highest non-Packers divisional game since 1997. The CBS games on WDJT-TV (Channel 58) also did well:

Saturday's game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers earned a 23.9 and Sunday's victory of the New York Jets over the New England Patriots earned a 31.3.

Meanwhile, the glow is off the Golden Globes.

In the wake of charges of nominations for pay, mentioned by host Ricky Gervais during the show, and the broader perception of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association as a joke, the awards show earned a local rating of 11.2, down from last year's 12.7

It was broadcast by NBC and carried locally on WTMJ-TV (Channel 4).
